Thermally broken frames are designed to reduce cold bridging. Condensation can still form if a room is very humid and poorly ventilated, which is why kitchens and bathrooms need extract ventilation.
Is aluminium recyclable?

With the midsummer sun about 62.5° high at noon, roof glass in Eastleigh gets strong summer sun. Solar control is recommended for large or south-facing lanterns.
